ottava signs

[Malte Meyn]

Hi list,

inspired by a discussion on notat.io [1] I started to make some 
improvements to ottava signs, the first one about the texts [2], the 
second one about dashed right edges [3] and a third one about vertical 
alignment. IMO the criticism on LilyPond’s default 8va markup [4] is 
legitimate. Should I change the default in issue 5559?

Cheers,
Malte
